* feat(config): Implement TASK_MASTER_PROJECT_ROOT support for project root resolution
- Added support for the TASK_MASTER_PROJECT_ROOT environment variable in MCP configuration, establishing a clear precedence order for project root resolution.
- Updated utility functions to prioritize the environment variable, followed by args.projectRoot and session-based resolution.
- Enhanced error handling and logging for project root determination.
- Introduced new tasks for comprehensive testing and documentation updates related to the new configuration options.
* chore: fix CI issues
Adds a new CLI command and MCP tool to reorganize tasks and subtasks within the hierarchy. Features include:
- Moving tasks between different positions in the task list
- Converting tasks to subtasks and vice versa
- Moving subtasks between parents
- Moving multiple tasks at once with comma-separated IDs
- Creating placeholder tasks when moving to new IDs
- Validation to prevent accidental data loss
This is particularly useful for resolving merge conflicts when multiple team members create tasks on different branches.
Enhance analyze-complexity to support analyzing specific tasks by ID or range:
- Add --id option for comma-separated task IDs
- Add --from/--to options for analyzing tasks within a range
- Implement intelligent merging with existing reports
- Update CLI, MCP tools, and direct functions for consistent support
- Add changeset documenting the feature
This commit applies the standard telemetry pattern to the analyze-task-complexity command and its corresponding MCP tool.
Key Changes:
1. Core Logic (scripts/modules/task-manager/analyze-task-complexity.js):
- The call to generateTextService now includes commandName: 'analyze-complexity' and outputType.
- The full response { mainResult, telemetryData } is captured.
- mainResult (the AI-generated text) is used for parsing the complexity report JSON.
- If running in CLI mode (outputFormat === 'text'), displayAiUsageSummary is called with the telemetryData.
- The function now returns { report: ..., telemetryData: ... }.
2. Direct Function (mcp-server/src/core/direct-functions/analyze-task-complexity.js):
- The call to the core analyzeTaskComplexity function now passes the necessary context for telemetry (commandName, outputType).
- The successful response object now correctly extracts coreResult.telemetryData and includes it in the data.telemetryData field returned to the MCP client.

This commit implements AI usage telemetry for the `expand-all-tasks` command/tool and refactors its CLI output for clarity and consistency.
Key Changes:
1. **Telemetry Integration for `expand-all-tasks` (Subtask 77.8):**\n - The `expandAllTasks` core logic (`scripts/modules/task-manager/expand-all-tasks.js`) now calls the `expandTask` function for each eligible task and collects the individual `telemetryData` returned.\n - A new helper function `_aggregateTelemetry` (in `utils.js`) is used to sum up token counts and costs from all individual expansions into a single `telemetryData` object for the entire `expand-all` operation.\n - The `expandAllTasksDirect` wrapper (`mcp-server/src/core/direct-functions/expand-all-tasks.js`) now receives and passes this aggregated `telemetryData` in the MCP response.\n - For CLI usage, `displayAiUsageSummary` is called once with the aggregated telemetry.
2. **Improved CLI Output for `expand-all`:**\n - The `expandAllTasks` core function now handles displaying a final "Expansion Summary" box (showing Attempted, Expanded, Skipped, Failed counts) directly after the aggregated telemetry summary.\n - This consolidates all summary output within the core function for better flow and removes redundant logging from the command action in `scripts/modules/commands.js`.\n - The summary box border is green for success and red if any expansions failed.
3. **Code Refinements:**\n - Ensured `chalk` and `boxen` are imported in `expand-all-tasks.js` for the new summary box.\n - Minor adjustments to logging messages for clarity.
This commit integrates AI usage telemetry for the `expand-task` command/tool and resolves issues related to incorrect return type handling and logging.
Key Changes:
1. **Telemetry Integration for `expand-task` (Subtask 77.7):**\n - Applied the standard telemetry pattern to the `expandTask` core logic (`scripts/modules/task-manager/expand-task.js`) and the `expandTaskDirect` wrapper (`mcp-server/src/core/direct-functions/expand-task.js`).\n - AI service calls now pass `commandName` and `outputType`.\n - Core function returns `{ task, telemetryData }`.\n - Direct function correctly extracts `task` and passes `telemetryData` in the MCP response `data` field.\n - Telemetry summary is now displayed in the CLI output for the `expand` command.
2. **Fix AI Service Return Type Handling (`ai-services-unified.js`):**\n - Corrected the `_unifiedServiceRunner` function to properly handle the return objects from provider-specific functions (`generateText`, `generateObject`).\n - It now correctly extracts `providerResponse.text` or `providerResponse.object` into the `mainResult` field based on `serviceType`, resolving the "text.trim is not a function" error encountered during `expand-task`.
3. **Log Cleanup:**\n - Removed various redundant or excessive `console.log` statements across multiple files (as indicated by recent changes) to reduce noise and improve clarity, particularly for MCP interactions.
Implements AI usage telemetry capture and propagation for the command and MCP tool, following the established telemetry pattern.
Key changes:
- **Core ():**
- Modified the call to include and .
- Updated to receive from .
- Adjusted to return an object .
- Added a call to to show telemetry data in the CLI output when not in MCP mode.
- **Direct Function ():**
- Updated the call to the core function to pass , , and .
- Modified to correctly handle the new return structure from the core function.
- Ensures received from the core function is included in the field of the successful MCP response.
- **MCP Tool ():**
- No changes required; existing correctly passes through the object containing .
- **CLI Command ():**
- The command's action now relies on the core function to handle CLI success messages and telemetry display.
This ensures that AI usage for the functionality is tracked and can be displayed or logged as appropriate for both CLI and MCP interactions.
This commit introduces a standardized pattern for capturing and propagating AI usage telemetry (cost, tokens, model used) across the Task Master stack and applies it to the 'add-task' functionality.
Key changes include:
- **Telemetry Pattern Definition:**
- Added defining the integration pattern for core logic, direct functions, MCP tools, and CLI commands.
- Updated related rules (, ,

- **Core Telemetry Implementation ():**
- Refactored the unified AI service to generate and return a object alongside the main AI result.
- Fixed an MCP server startup crash by removing redundant local loading of and instead using the imported from for cost calculations.
- Added to the object.
- ** Integration:**
- Modified (core) to receive from the AI service, return it, and call the new UI display function for CLI output.
- Updated to receive from the core function and include it in the payload of its response.
- Ensured (MCP tool) correctly passes the through via .
- Updated to correctly pass context (, ) to the core function and rely on it for CLI telemetry display.
- **UI Enhancement:**
- Added function to to show telemetry details in the CLI.
- **Project Management:**
- Added subtasks 77.6 through 77.12 to track the rollout of this telemetry pattern to other AI-powered commands (, , , , , , ).
This establishes the foundation for tracking AI usage across the application.
- Enhance error validation in parse-prd.js and update-tasks.js
- Fix bug where mcpLog was incorrectly passed as logWrapper
- Improve error messages and response formatting
- Add --skip-verification flag to E2E tests

- Fix task force/append handling in parse-prd command
- Increase column width in update-tasks display
This commit introduces several improvements and refactorings across MCP tools, core logic, and configuration.
**Major Changes:**
1. **Refactor updateSubtaskById:**
- Switched from generateTextService to generateObjectService for structured AI responses, using a Zod schema (subtaskSchema) for validation.
- Revised prompts to have the AI generate relevant content based on user request and context (parent/sibling tasks), while explicitly preventing AI from handling timestamp/tag formatting.
- Implemented **local timestamp generation (new Date().toISOString()) and formatting** (using <info added on ...> tags) within the function *after* receiving the AI response. This ensures reliable and correctly formatted details are appended.
- Corrected logic to append only the locally formatted, AI-generated content block to the existing subtask.details.
2. **Consolidate MCP Utilities:**
- Moved/consolidated the withNormalizedProjectRoot HOF into mcp-server/src/tools/utils.js.
- Updated MCP tools (like update-subtask.js) to import withNormalizedProjectRoot from the new location.
3. **Refactor Project Initialization:**
- Deleted the redundant mcp-server/src/core/direct-functions/initialize-project-direct.js file.
- Updated mcp-server/src/core/task-master-core.js to import initializeProjectDirect from its correct location (./direct-functions/initialize-project.js).
**Other Changes:**
- Updated .taskmasterconfig fallback model to claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219.
- Clarified model cost representation in the models tool description (taskmaster.mdc and mcp-server/src/tools/models.js).
Problem: The MCP tool previously handled project root acquisition and path resolution within its method, leading to potential inconsistencies and repetition.
Solution: Refactored the tool () to utilize the new Higher-Order Function (HOF) from .
Specific Changes:
- Imported HOF.
- Updated the Zod schema for the parameter to be optional, as the HOF handles deriving it from the session if not provided.
- Wrapped the entire function body with the HOF.
- Removed the manual call to from within the function body.
- Destructured the from the object received by the wrapped function, ensuring it's the normalized path provided by the HOF.
- Used the normalized variable when calling and when passing arguments to .
This change standardizes project root handling for the tool, simplifies its method, and ensures consistent path normalization. This serves as the pattern for refactoring other MCP tools.
Problem: expand_task & expand_all MCP tools failed with .env keys due to missing projectRoot propagation for API key resolution. Also fixed a ReferenceError: wasSilent is not defined in expandTaskDirect.
Solution: Modified core logic, direct functions, and MCP tools for expand-task and expand-all to correctly destructure projectRoot from arguments and pass it down through the context object to the AI service call (generateTextService). Fixed wasSilent scope in expandTaskDirect.
Verification: Tested expand_task successfully in MCP using .env keys. Reviewed expand_all flow for correct projectRoot propagation.
Modified update-subtask-by-id core, direct function, and tool to pass projectRoot for .env API key fallback. Removed check preventing appending details to completed subtasks.
Modified update-task-by-id core, direct function, and tool to pass projectRoot. Reverted parsing logic in core function to prioritize `{...}` extraction, resolving parsing errors. Fixed ReferenceError by correctly destructuring projectRoot.
Modified parse-prd core, direct function, and tool to pass projectRoot for .env API key fallback. Corrected Zod schema used in generateObjectService call. Fixed logFn reference error in core parsePRD. Updated unit test mock for utils.js.
Modified add-task core, direct function, and tool to pass projectRoot for .env API key fallback. Fixed logFn reference error and removed deprecated reportProgress call in core addTask function. Verified working.
Modified analyze-task-complexity.js core function, direct function, and analyze.js tool to correctly pass projectRoot. Fixed import error in tools/index.js. Added debug logging to _resolveApiKey in ai-services-unified.js. This enables the .env API key fallback for analyze_project_complexity.
Modified ai-services-unified.js, update.js tool, and update-tasks.js direct function to correctly pass projectRoot. This enables the .env file API key fallback mechanism for the update command when running via MCP, ensuring consistent key resolution with the CLI context.
- Enhance E2E testing and LLM analysis report and:
- Add --analyze-log flag to run_e2e.sh to re-run LLM analysis on existing logs.
- Add test:e2e and analyze-log scripts to package.json for easier execution.
- Correct display errors and dependency validation output:
- Update chalk usage in add-task.js to use bracket notation (chalk[color]) compatible with v5, resolving 'chalk.keyword is not a function' error.
- Modify fix-dependencies command output to show red failure box with issue count instead of green success box when validation fails.
- Refactor interactive model setup:
- Verify inclusion of 'No change' option during interactive model setup flow (task-master models --setup).
- Update model definitions:
- Add max_tokens field for gpt-4o in supported-models.json.
- Remove unused scripts:
- Delete prepare-package.js and rule-transformer.test.js.
Release candidate
- Refactors the core `removeTask` function (`task-manager/remove-task.js`) to accept and iterate over comma-separated task/subtask IDs.
- Updates dependency cleanup and file regeneration logic to run once after processing all specified IDs.
- Adjusts the `remove-task` CLI command (`commands.js`) description and confirmation prompt to handle multiple IDs correctly.
- Fixes a bug in the CLI confirmation prompt where task/subtask titles were not being displayed correctly.
- Updates the `remove_task` MCP tool description to reflect the new multi-ID capability.
This addresses the previously known issue where only the first ID in a comma-separated list was processed.
Closes#140
